Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9304718A1] Disclosed is a medical device for use in the inhalation of doses of spray, the device comprising the following elements: a) a cylindrical housing (1) with a chamber (2) designed to hold an aerosol can (3) and with longitudinally running first main air-channels (14; 14.1; 14.3). b) A mouthpiece (9) fitting coaxially against the housing (1), the mouthpiece (9) and housing (1) together forming an atomization/turbulence chamber (6), and second main air-channels (14a) connecting with the first main air-channels (14; 14.1; 14.3). c) A dividing wall (1.1) located between the can-holding chamber (2) and the atomization/turbulence chamber (6), the dividing wall (1.1) having a stepped bore (5) whose larger-diameter section connects with the can-holding chamber (2) and whose smaller-diameter section connects with the atomization/turbulence chamber (6) to act as an aerosol outlet (5.2). Connected to the first main air-channels are branch air-channels (7) which run at an angle in the dividing wall (1.1) and open out in the atomization/turbulence chamber while surrounding the stepped bore (5).
